Tory comes from a very tough past where he tended to struggle a lot which has made him feel like he's been in survival mode and that Corey should do the exact same instead of Corey chasing his dreams all because Troy claims that they wont last. Troy really wishes Corey a very different future, a future that he plans for his son to have since Tory tends to be very strict upon what masculinity is.

  Prompt Response:  A conversation that changed me was when I had a hard conversation with my mother about who your friends are. At this moment in time I believed that friends were the 1 thing that I needed in my life, my mother had to speak to me about looking out who your friends should be and are.

  Prompt Response:  A classmate' s story-map that really stood out to me would be Christopher's.

Prompt: What would you do: tell your friend to confess, tell their partner yourself, or stay quiet? Explain your choice, using ideas about loyalty and consequences from Fences. How might your decision affect everyone involved?

  Prompt Response:  I personally think it isn't my business, but i would try to talk my friend into some sense. I wouldn't wanna get myself involved in situations that don't include me unless it wants me to be included, but no female deserves to be treated or lead on thinking that their partner is being faithful but isn't. If my friend was to do this i would address him where they are wrong and tell them to be straight forward with their partner and straighten it out and figure out a way to resolve it.  Summary: October 1, 2025, in class we read Fences and people played their parts and then got to working on our posters.  Reflection:  I strive to be the best that i can be everyday in any way possible, so that i can reach my goals and achieve my long term goals in the future.
